The amount of cooper that are contained in 120 pounds of the brass is equal to 78 pounds.

Let the amount of copper be C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Quantity of brass = 120 pounds

Percentage of copper = 65%

To calculate the amount of cooper that are contained in 120 pounds of the brass:

In this this exercise, you're required to determined how many pounds of copper can be found in 120 pounds of the brass. Thus, we would solve for the percentage of copper contained in this type of brass.

$Copper = \frac{65}{100} \times 120\\\\Copper = 0.65 \times 120$

Copper, C = 78 pounds

I dont understand and this is very urgent so can someone help me out please?

Answer:

Please Find the solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say the two equations are

x+y=5 --------------(A)

x-y=1 -------------(B)

Let us solve them for x and y by adding them

2x=6

x=3

Hence from (A)

3+y=5

y=2

Hence our solution is

x=3, y=2

Adding same number to equation (A) say 2 we get

x+y+2=5+2

x+y=5+2-2

x+y=5

Hence equation remains the same while adding same number to each side.

Same thing happens if we add same number to equation (B)

Hence we draw the conclusion that the solution remains the same if same number is added to each side of the original equation.

When the polynomial is written in standard form, what are the values of the leading coefficeient and the constant? 5x + 2 - 3x2

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The leading coefficient is -3

The constant is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a polynomial is the descending order, that means that it must be written according from its higher power, down straight to the coefficient with no variable.

Hence, the leading coefficient is the one that is next to the highest exponent of the polynomial, in this case: =3x2.

The second term is 5x

And the last is 2. the constant
